Bloody Murrain.

We are asked if there is disease
called bloody murrain. Yes. 1t is a
very malignant disease. The whole
system of the animal seems to be involv-
ed. 1t begins with fever and a painful
cough. The respiration soon becomes
hard and rapid. There is heaving of
the fanks, eruptions upon the teats,
mouth and feet; coldness of the horns,
and sometimes lameness is present;
constipation or diarrhma are frequent
symptoms; the f9ces are black and fetid j;
there is brown or bloody discharge
from the mouth. The animal is con-
tinually moaning, and grinding it's teeth.
In course of time the breath becomes
very offensive and tuaors appear on
various parts Of the body.-[Western

Recently Silas Payne lost five head of
cattle with the above disease. The
above paragraph explains fully all the
signs and symptoms of the disease.

The Koran has fixed the hours that
must be consecrated to prayers, These
prayers, namaZi. are five in number. The
most solemn is the morning prayer; 1t is
the sahah namazi; it is uttered after the
dawn, just before the rising Of the sun
The second is the midday prayer, Guile
namazi. The third jkindy namazi, must
be offered just before the setting of the
sun. The evening prayer, aacham ma
mazi is uttered just before the shadows
conceal the horizon. Finally the last and
fifth prayer, yatcy namazi, is uttered in
the interval after shutdown and just be
fore dawn.
The hour of prayers is regularly pro
claimed to the faithful by the imams,
called muezzins, who walk around
the balcony of the minarets, sing
ing, in melancholy voice, this
unvarying litany; God, the most

two or three shoots of water in Parma,
but even that is more than one can find in
most Of these plain towns, and, especially
to the traveller who has just left Swtzer-

No Swiss village is so mean, no town so
crowded, but from an unpretending iron
pipe there gushes forth, pellucid, glitter

water which leaps in joyous and elastic
curve into basin with n gay flash by
night and by day, and pours off with un-

OF all animals birds possess the quickest

Inherited Phenomena of Alcoholism.

DR.. T. ID. Crothers, of Walnut Lodge,
Hartford, Conn. has made n study of
class of phenomena which have not been
previously described specifically, in which
liability to exhibit the outward signs of
intoxicatiOn upon excitement appears to
have been inherited from inebriate parents.
lie has found two classes of the cases
one, i'll which the symptoms of intoNCa-
tion are present all the time; the other, in
which those symptoms only appear from
some peculiar circumstances cr exciting
causes. In the first class, some prominent
defect such as itliocy, imbecility or con
genital dcformity, is present to give the
case distinctness irrespective of the signs
of intoXication. The symptoms may APP
pear after birth or he slowly evolved with
the growth of the child, and come into
prominence ut or before puberty Of
course all the varied phases of idiocy, i'm
becility. progressive degeneration and
malformation go on. The presence of a
special class of symptoms resembling in
toXication so clearly suggests a distint 1
alcoholic causaton.
In the second class of cases noted the
alcoholic symptoms IRE not present unless
from some exciting cause mon alcoholic,
such as anger, fear or sudden excitement.
In this class are idiots, imbeciles and de-
fectiyes Of all degrees, who at times dis
play distinct signs of intoxication that
subside after u period. Often in these
cases appear the common delusions and
dcliriums of intoxication; also the semi
paralysis and stupor. Teachers and SUI
perintendents of asylums and schools for
this class realize clearly the danger of ex-
citement on these dement's and detectives,
